what you want out of this relationship. >> larry: thank you all very much. we have obviously not heard the last of this. the dalai lama met with president obama the other day and he will do an exclusive interview with us on monday night. the dalai lama monday night on "larry king live." right now, john king sits in for anderson cooper with "a.c. 360." john? thanks, larry. a great program. everyone's talk tonight about tiger and his apology. tonight we're going to take a step beyond, tackling it from a number of fresh angles, including this. tom foreman looking beyond tiger's performance in front of the cameras to what those cameras really captured. things you and i might have missed. >> this highly staged and scripted apology was intended to calm the storm around tiger woods, but it has unleashed debates. three things you may not have noticed but are ripping through discussions tonight. tiger wore no we'ding ring. photos suggest he rarely did

before the scandal. you can bet the absence was noted today. so was the absence of his wife, nowhere to be seen. so were the reactions of his mother who rarely even looked up at him during that statement. and the reactions of others, who were looking very hard. you know who was in his hand-picked audience, top officials from the pga, from tiger woods enterprises and nike, among others. it was all enough, no kidding, to slow down the stock market. more on all of that later. john? >> thanks, tom. we'll hear as well from the author "men are from mars, women are from venous." as you see, women make most buying decisions in the household. one of tiger's jobs is selling things. also ahead tonight, 360 is back in haiti following story of kids from the brez ma orphanage. it turns out some of them were left behind. and their situation is raising concerns. gary tuchman goes back to check

things out. first up tonight, the missionaries who were jailed in haiti. two are still behind bars, eight have been released. anderson interviewed one of them today. setting the stage first, here's joe johns. >> reporter: saturday january 30th haitian police report they've arrested ten americans at the keyboarder crossing into the dominican republic. five men and five women, trying to take a bus load of 33 children out of earthquake-stricken haiti. the americans say they're baptist missionaries plan to house the children in a converted hotel in the dominican republic and later move them to the orphanage. the focus of the case quickly becomes the leader of the group, laura silsby. on january 31st silsby tells cnn she was wrongly arrested. >> we believe that we've been charged very falsely with trafficking, which, of course, that is the furthest possible extreme because, i mean, our heart's here. we literally gave up everything we had -- income and used of our own funds to come here to help

these children. >> reporter: silsby originally claimed the children were orphaned or abandoned. cnn determined early on some of the children had at least one parent living. on february 3rd haitians say the missionaries had no so-called paperwork. february 4th the americans are charged with child trafficking. there are reports some parents admitted giving their children away in hopes they would have a better life. february 5th it becomes clear neither the u.s. nor the united nations will intervene on behalf of the americans, after secretary of state hillary clinton and her husband, u.n. special envoy to haiti and former u.s. president bill clinton say they're subject to haitian law. after that, days of waiting and legal maneuvering. reports of power problems in the jail and concerns that one of the detained americans, a diabetic, was becoming ill. but it isn't until three weeks later, february 17th, that a

haitian judge rules eight of the ten americans can be freed. they leave that night after being granted bail without bond. released on their own recognizance. how are you coping with that? tonight silsby and her 24-year-old nanny, charisa coulter, remain in custody, leaving it up to the haitian court to determine whether this was some type of misguided rescue mission or a sorted plot. joe john, cnn, washington. now, one of the missionaries on how he got caught up in all this. that and what he did and didn't know about the odyssey he was on. his name is jim allen. anderson has got the big 360 interview. >> jim, congratulations on being home. how are you doing? >> i'm doing very well. got a good night's rest last night, and i feel good. >> i think it's important for people to realize, and i learned this from talking to your wife last week. you didn't know laura silsby before heading down to haiti, correct? >> correct.

i actually didn't know -- there was only two people in the group that i did know, and that was my cousin, paul thompson, and his son. paul is the one who had contacted me and said they were going, and i was really interested in an opportunity to help the people, so, with one or two days' notice i was in miami and on my way. so -- >> so what was your understanding of what the mission was going to be that laura silsby had put together? >> in the very beginning the only thing i knew is that we were going to go over there and she had an orphanage and that we were going to work on that and prepare that for children to be able to live there. >> at this point when you first went, did you think that -- were you under the impression that laura had always permissions she needed to take kids from haiti into the dominican republic? >> yes. we were told that all the documents required to get kids

into the dominican republic she had, and on the haitian side there was some documents that we needed to acquire and that was part of our goal also. >> did you ever see the documents that laura said she had that she was going to show authorities? >> yes, i did. as they entered the bus each individual child that endered the bus, they was written right then at that time. i seen that happening. i didn't look at the document and read the document. i watched them write down their names and write down their birthdates and then i watched the pastor sign it. >> in terms of -- but just so i'm correct, there was never any written document from a haitian authority saying these adoptions were approved or this could go through? this was simply something from this person from the orphanage? >> exactly. yes. uh-huh. >> why was laura looking for kids only under 10? >> my understanding was, is

that's what the dominican government had told her that she has authorization to bring back. that it was required, you know, 10 and under and no mother and no father. >> and were you aware that of the 33 kids that as many as 2/3 of them actually did have a parent? >> not at all. as they got on the bus, as the pastor -- we thought they were relatives like aunts or uncles or grandparents, brought the kids to us. they specifically told us that this child has no one to take care of them. both their mother and their father are no longer living, and as they entered the bus we wrote down their name and their birth date and that they were alone and had nobody to help them. >> is there anything now, looking back on this, that, i mean, besides getting arrested,

that you regret? >> what i wish is that, you know, i went -- i felt like god actually called me to go help these people. what i regret the most is that i wasn't able to do anything. you know, i don't blame anybody or hold any grudges against that. because i think that the haitian government did what they needed to do by detaining us and getting to the facts, but -- >> you're not angry at the haitian government? >> oh, not at all. no. >> i do think as you said one of the saddest things about this is, you know, besides obviously the disruption to these kids is just that you wanted to do good and you had good intentions in your heart. would you ever consider going down again in another capacity? >> i wouldn't mind going. >> a lot to ask. >> i would probably have to do it without lisa knowing about it. you know -- >> or your attorney i would think. >> probably. probably so. >> again, jim and lisa and

hyrem, thank you very much. welcome home. just a reminder the live chat is up and running at ac360.com. plenty to chat about tonight including tiger woods' apology. >> it's hard to admit that i need help, but i do. >> coming up, the male/female divide on what he said. the money angle. tom foreman on the telling details and more. ring ring ring ring

progresso. hi. we love your weight watchers endorsed soups but my husband looks the way he did 20 years ago. well that's great. you haven't seen him... my other can is ringing. progresso. hey can you tell my wife to relax and enjoy the view? (announcer) progresso. you gotta taste this soup.

the day after thanksgiving '09 will be remembered as the moment the country awoke from a turkey coma to a tiger frenzy. the news tiger woods wrecked his suv. then came the parades of girlfriends. and animated recreations of key moments in the sorted saga. when that jumped ashark, tiger vanished, also vanishing many sponsors. then rehab and today this. >> i want to say to each of you, simply and directly, i am deeply sorry for my irresponsible and selfish behavior i engaged in. i have let you down. i have let down my fans. for many of you, especially my friends, my behavior has been a personal disappointment. some people have speculated that elin somehow hurt or attacked me on thanksgiving night.

it angers me that people would fabricate a story like that. elin never hit me that night or any other night. there has never been an episode of domestic violence in our marriage. ever. the issue involved here was my repeated irresponsible behavior. i was unfaithful. i had affairs. i cheated. what i did is not acceptable. i am the only person to blame. i felt that i had worked hard my entire life and deserved to enjoy all the temptations around me. i felt i was entitled. thanks to money and fame i didn't have far -- i didn't have to go far to find them. i was wrong. i was foolish. i don't get to play by different rules. it's now up to me to make amends. and that starts by never

repeating the mistakes i've made. it's up to me to start living a life of integrity. it's hard to admit that i need help, but i do. for 45 days from the end of december to early february i was in-patient therapy receiving guidance for the issues i'm facing. when my children were born we only released photographs so that the paparazzi could not chase them. however, my behavior doesn't make it right for the media to follow my 2 1/2-year-old daughter to school and report the school's location. i was raised a buddhist and i actively practiced my faith from childhood until i drifted away from it in recent years. buddhism teaches that a craving for things outside ourselves

causes an unhappy and pointless search for security. it teaches me to stop following every impulse and to learn restraint. obviously i lost track of what i was taught. i do plan to return to golf one day. i just don't know when that day will be. i don't rule out that it will be this year. when i do return i need to make my behavior more respectful of the game. >> so that's the apology and as you're well aware a lot of people have been talking about it. tom foreman has been analyzing the body language, who was there, who wasn't, including wife, elin. we'll look at that shortly. let's dig deeper into how tiger's apology and adultery are being seen. joined by john gray, "men are from mars women are from venus."

with us cnn legal analyst lisa bloom. john, what is the mars/venus breakdown of tiger's big statement? >> well, he did a great job apologizing. he's really dug a hole for himself and it's going to be a while for him to rebuild his image and so forth. it will happen a lot faster with men than with women. men sort of are more sympathetic toward this because on our planet if we say men are from mar, men are attracted by the physical first and he was clearly not necessarily emotionally involved with these women. when women hear it it's a huge betrayal of trust because women usually feel the emotional bond first. how could he betray his wife telling her he loves her while he would go off and love all these other women in a special way? there's a huge betrayal trust. whoever's guiding him and helping him in the apology and understanding the healing is right on, because it's not words that will do it. it's actions. and for his whole image to come back it will be in a future

there will be scenes of him happy with his wife because she's the one who needs to rebuild the trust with him. i think that will help other women see men in a different light as well. he has a big role here to play and i see one big obstacles, which women don't understand the way men recover from traumatic events is often by doing things they're good at. he'll be playing golf. people will think he doesn't care about the tragedy he created when the opposite is true. >> lisa, as a woman and a person who helps people through crises, how do you do? >> i'm glad to be here tonight representing the planet, venus, john. i think there was one small step forward for women today. that is this. we did not see elin, thank goodness, standing next to him the way we've seen so many wives of famous staff in the past. for example, silda spitzer, wife of former governor eliot

spitzer. dina mcgreevey, wife of jim mcgreevey. we're not seeing it i think anymore. we didn't see it with elizabeth edwards. we didn't see it with the governor's wife in south carolina. good for elin for staying home and telling women and girls we're not door mats. her private decisions are up to her. if she stays, if she goes, that's up to her. her public actionses are something people look to. that girls and women look up to public figures like elin. i say good for her for not being a door mat today. >> let me ask you. if you agree he said the right things, did he say them right, if you will? was there enough emotion? was the delivery credible? >> i thought it was fantastic. i just want to reenforce what lisa said. that was my first reaction. i was so glad there wasn't her having to stand there humiliating herself in front of her husband as if she's feeling good about this. her heart is broken, and it's magnified many thousandfold that few people could imagine because of all the publicity on this and privacy is something she's

taking and something he's acknowledged. he doesn't want to share his feelings, what he's told to her, and that his actions will demonstrate that. he's going to prove that. i have faith in tiger. he's achieved his goals. he's an icon. he's a focused man. he can achieve his goal. part of golf is learning how to correct yourself from making mistakes. you're constantly gauging yourself. he made a big mistake. a lot of famous people made that same mistake when faced with those temptations. i'm confident he'll be able to correct that and realize what he's done and he will adjust it and solve the problem. >> there was one area for women i thought was disappointing. that is that tiger apologized to all the world, his wife, appropriately, his family, his friends, his fans, his business associates. the only mention he made of all the other women he was involved with was to refer to them as temptations. you know, certainly he didn't refer to them even as human beings. he didn't apologize to them. my understanding is part of the 12-step program is you're supposed to apologize to all the human beings you wronged.

some of these women alleged they had year-long relationships with him, text messages from him where he lied to them. i think he should have apologized too them, too. >> let's talk about the future of tiger, the salesman. we assume he'll return to golf and assume he'll have his skills in tact. abc news released a poll that shows 37% of women had an unfavorable view of tiger woods compared to 29% as men. as a marketer, salesman, beginning with you, john, can he recover from numbers like that in terms of getting back his marketability? >> it will clearly start to happen as he starts winning the games. it will happen first with men. if i was helping them in terms of just raising his image, after three to four months there would be the acknowledgement he finished his therapy or a major part of it and some sort of publicity campaign showing he's happy with his wife. if that happens that would greatly improve his image. if he was able to go the nine yards to rebuild the

relationship. as a counselor these things can take several years to really rebuild, for her to rebuild her trust. if she gots involved in the process of healing and counseling as well it will happen faster. not to say she's responsible for what he's done in any way but she's part of the hearing. >> if you see him in an ad on the screen do you view him the same as you would have year ago? >> the women i've been talking to today on twitter and facebook and on the air and everywhere i've gone have not looked at tiger favorably pip don't know the extent which he fully recuperate his image with women. he was selfish. he had a sense of entitlement he could do anything and publicly humiliated his wife. he wronged a lot of women that are out there hurting. i think americans love a comeback story. women and men. i think eventually everybody will forget about tiger's wrongs if he goes forward and leads a good life. he's going to have a hard time repairing his image with women i think in the great term. >> john gray, lisa broom. we played a portion of

tiger's statement tonight. go to ac360.com, we posted the whole thing. we'll be taking a closer look ourselves. right after the break. at the people in the room with tiger. who was there, who wasn't? their reactions and more. later, gary tuchman returns to haiti and the orphanage that got so many of its kids out but not all of them. how are they doing now? find out when 360 continues.

after months of silence tiger woods riveted the world today. he apologized for his serial adultery. he said he realizes the rules apply to him, just like everyone else. he hugged his mom, but he didn't hug his wife, elin. she wasn't there.

that isn't the only telling detail if you look close enough which is exactly what tom foreman did. >> reporter: from the moment he walked in, tiger woods looked starkly different than many of us remember him from just before the scandal broke at thanksgiving last year. take a look. gone, of course, was that famous smile. you could see dark circles under his eyes. his clothing not nearly as polished, his demeanor. not as confident as we used to expect. all that despite the fact he was facing a hand-picked crowd stacked with friends and business associates. for example, in the front row, that's a pro golfer. tim finchem, pga tour commissioner. rob mcnamara from the sports agency that represents tiger. farther down, that's kathy bataglia from tiger woods enterpri enterprises. tiger's mother. amy of nike. notably absent, tiger's wife. many appeared uneasy as they listened. >> i want to say to each of you,

simply and directly, i am deeply sorry for my irresponsible and selfish behavior i engaged in. >> reporter: media came from all over the world, but reporters were kept a mile away in a viewing area and told there would be no questions. but part way through tiger's head-on camera failed. so the rest of the statement was taken from this side shot which revealed interesting details. he wore no wedding ring. although past pictures suggest he rarely did. and look at the reactions from tiger's mother. >> i hurt my wife, my kids, my mother. >> reporter: even when he spoke about her or his late father she mostly looked down or away. so did many others. although the woman from nike dabbed at her eyes as tiger wrapped up his statement and came over to hug his mother and shake a few hands. how many people stopped to watch

this? not sure. stock market trading dipped noticeably during the announcement and rose sharply afterward. perhaps one measure of how three months after his fall many people remain terribly interested in tiger, the man, and tiger the megasportsstar. tom foreman, cnn, washington. digging deeper now let's bring in someone who knows and has written extensively about the life, challenges and temptations of proathletes. sportswriter and nationally syndicated radio host steven a. smith. let's start with a simple question. did tiger's statement today, his delivery today, help or hurt his efforts to rehabilitate? >> his delivery hurt his attempt to resurrect himself in the eyes of the public. it was an awful delivery. the worlds were opera powe. there was contrition in the words. he apologized to all the right people. the people who really mattered. in terms of his delivery it came

across as too scripted, too choreographed, lacking sincerity severely and that's the kind of thing that's going to hurt him because he's never made an effort to necessarily ingrace yate himself with the public at large. he marketed himself and his image to get paid but never engrashuated himself with the public at large. after he had the opportunity to do so after this incident he didn't do a good job of it. >> you're around professional sports all the time. take us inside that world. you heard tiger today say he felt entitled, felt he could get away with anything he wanted because of the money, because of his fame. what is life like for wealthy, famous athletes always on the road and always surrounded by fans and groupies? >> it's temptation island. that's what it comes down to. a lot of people don't want to hear that. you're a man, you're a physical creature. you cover what you see as the first order of business. men are from mars, women are from venus. they make sure you see a lot. there's a whole bunch of flesh

pointing in these guys' faces every single day, everywhere they go, every hour of aef day. i know of situations where women have snuck into guys' hotels. literally guys have come home to the hotel from games and somehow, someway the women had managed to get themselves into a hotel room. i'm not talking about what you would call hooch chis or anything like that. girls on a roll looking to get in bed with a guy. i'm talking about doctors, lawyers, nurses, accountants, women who have achieved their own level of success. it does not stop them. the younger you are the more of a target you are. the more naive you're perceived as being which makes you an easier target and prey for a lot of women. i'm talking about every city, every state, every small town. i don't care if they go to the bus stop. there is a woman somewhere there who wants to get ahold of them because they're representable f figures. >> is golf different, than if

tiger were a professional basketball player, baseball play e football player? >> golf is very digit for one reason and one reason only. golf is an international sport. you're not traveling from cleveland to chicago or chicago to detroit or detroit to new york city. you're in new york -- i'm sorry, you're in the united states one day. you're in dubai the next. you're in asia the next. you're in london, england. you're in france. the list could be on and on. you're international. you're traveling all across the world and lots of times you are not with your significant other and you're spending chunks and chunks of time without your significant other while those temptations are being thrown in your face. that's one of the biggest reasons why you feel you can get away with anything because the person you're accountable to is usually not around to hold you accountable. >> he was the best in the world, without dispute. what happens now? when you're the best, some of your colleagues, fellow players, competitors resent you anyway. what happens to tiger woods now?

do they forget about this? think, i don't want people looking at my private life either, so welcome back tiger? >> they're going to welcome him back, but in the same breath some of them are going to resent him more because he's made life at home very, very difficult for them. we know, as men, we know how women can be. that's not misogynistic or disrespectful in any way. if tiger woods is cheating, some other golfers go home and look at women, wives, their eyebrows are raised, looking at them, what are you doing? they're not going to say it to him literally. that's going to be the kind of attitude that comes across. you know what? women don't forget and men don't do a great job of giving them reasons to forget. and ultimately you're going to end up paying the price. the actions of one taint the many and that's exactly what the situation is going to be the tiger woods especially since it's the sport of golf we're

talking about here. >> the never shy steven a. smith. we appreciate your perspective tonight. >> always. coming up, new information about the plane crash into an irs building in texas. a startling find that could explain the force of the explosion. a 3-year-old is found alive and well after more than 16 hours missing. the surprising secret to her survival, just ahead. and when it does, men with erectile dysfunction can be more confident in their ability to be ready with cialis. with two clinically proven dosing options, you can choose the moment that's right for you and your partner. 36-hour cialis and cialis for daily use. cialis for daily use is a low-dose tablet you take every day, so you can be ready anytime the moment's right. day or night. >> tell your doctor about your medical condition and all medications and ask if you're healthy enough for sexual activity. >> don't take cialis if you take nitrates for chest pain, as this may cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure. >> don't drink alcohol in excess with cialis. side effects may include headache, upset stomach, delayed backache, or muscle ache.

a group of orphans in hatefy. we told their story in the first frightening days after the quake. jamie and aleck were living outside at their bresma orphanage with a group of children they feared would not survive. some of those kids have been air lifted to the united states. others were left behind. our gary tuchman went back to bresma to find out what happened to them. >> reporter: an ar forphanage i haiti. where the children chant in creole "he's our mother margaret." margaret may love these children like a mother but she'ses the owner of the orphanage hoping the children get approval to live with new mothers and fathers in france and the united states. do these children here have

permission to leave hitty yaiti? >> not yet. >> how come? >> paperwork is not finished yet. >> reporter: the rest, which is another 30, don't have permission to leave? >> not yet. >> reporter: this is our second fit to the bresma orphanage. three days after the earthquake we met two pittsburgh sisters who for years have helped margaret run the orphanage. they said back then many of the children had already been matched with parents in the united states, but -- >> their paperwork was in government offices downtown and all the offices are crumbled. so that's what they need. all those papers are what they need to be able to get a passport and a visa. >> reporter: jamie and alli were tenacious. 54 children got approval in the next few days and flew out of port-au-prince airports to new lives in united states. 36 other children stayed behind. we came back because we heard

some were quite sick. how are the health of the children right now? >> not very, very good. but they are okay. except the four children that in not very in good shape. >> reporter: they're in the hospital right now? >> one of them is in the hospital. >> reporter: that child has pneumonia. this still photo shows one of the other three children who have digestive problems. while we were there they were bused to another haitian orphanage so they current building can be repaired. they get a chance of extra medical care available at the oth other facility. the pittsburgh sisters are back in haiti trying to get 12 of the orphans to designated families in the u.s. the rest of the children are destined to france. how long the process will take is unknown. >> gary tuchman joins us now. gary, how long does it generally take for an adoption to get appro approved? >> reporter: before the earthquake, john, it took an average of about 1 1/2 years. after the earthquake, though,

party heavyweights took turns at the podium in washington reasserting conservative values and blasting democrats past and present. listen to minnesota representative michele bachmann. >> they have left us now holding an invoice in excess of $105 trillion in unfunded federal net liabilities which obviously wasn't enough of a debt load for the current administration. it sounds to me like someone is choosing to climb. >> conservatives clearly hoping to make gains in the 2010 midterm elections. how much do they need tea party support? cnn political analyst william and red state.com editor and cheer eric erickson sat down with anderson earlier for our strategy session. >> bill, i know you're speaking at cpac on saturday. is there a new conservative movement that has grown up in the last year since the really the birth of the tea parties? has the hierarchy changed? >> i don't think so.

i think it's a greright now, anderson. a lot of moving parts. no particular leader. there's a lot of passion, a lot of enthusiasm and a lot of unity around the issue of stopping what's going on in washington. this is broader than a conservative movement. i think. a lot of independents are participating in the same passion and the same direction. >> eric, you were quoted in an article i read today saying there needs to be a purging of the movement and that it's already in some ways happening how so? >> there are a lot of groups out there that are really republican groups. for a lng time republican and conservative were connected at the hip. they're not really the same thi thing. the republicans are about the accumulation of power to pass laws. conservatives are about princip principles. we need to separate to some degree and get back to where we were when ronald reagan became

president. where there was a movement separate from the republican establishment. >> aren't a lot of those people you're talking about, as the republican establishment, they came to washington because of ronald reagan. >> yeah. i think so. you know, over time something happens i think when you get to washington. the values change. the views change. it's different where i live down in macon, georgia, than where it is up in washington. the issues are different. the presuppositions on which people base their ideas sometimes change. and i think we sometimes change and need to have a reality check in the movement of, are we still conservative? if you look at the sharon statement william buckley released in 1960, that's still very valid. that hasn't changed. there are a lot of people who are in the conservative movement who look at some of those statements now and get a little squeamish. that's unfortunate. >> bill, what do you think about what eric is saying? >> i have a lot of regard for eric. i don't agree with a lot of it. i don't like this reflex when you come to washington you get bad and when you're out of

washington you're good. not true. there are surprisingly good people in washington. you're not superior because you're outside of washington, inferior when you're in. you're superior if you're a good person, you do the right thing and you're not if you're not, whether you're in macon, georgia, or washington, d.c. i challenge eric to tell me what's wrong with jon kyl, jeff sessions and paul ryan and a host of other people i could cite. it is fashionable to bash washington. lord knows washington does a lot that deserves it, but you do not lose your character, necessarily, when you come to washington and don't have it simply by sitting outside and criticizing it. >> you know, i think i agree with bill more than otherwise. i think one of the danger sometimes of getting things in so many words in print is painting with broader strokes than what i meant. you know, the congressmen and senators mr. bennett listed are good people. there are a many who come to washington and remain true to their principles. there are some who don't, though. which is the danger. with the tea party movement the danger is that some people who

have gotten involved in the tea party don't necessarily have the best motives but by in large i think it exists in the absence of leadership. you know, you have a lot of people in washington who come and talk about small government but then they expand government. they're perfectly happy, through the earmarks process or what have you. i think the tea party movement, once it gets leadership that really does walk the walk or at least feels like it's got leadership it will largely devold dissolve. the republican party is its natural home. i think it's a good thing for it to be closely affiliated with the republican party. it's a good symbiotic relationship. >> eric, good conversation. bill bennett, appreciate it as well. >> thank you. monday on 360, who really runs washington? we take you up and down k street. where lobbyists roam. part of our broken government series next week on 360. up next a university professor accused of gunning down her colleagues is on suicide washington watch in an

mortgage meltdown. the initiative will be funded by money from the bank bailout. meantime today the president took a moment to set the record straight about his feelings toward sin city. he recently angered local politicians and others in las vegas, warning americans not to flow their cash in vegas. today, though, the president struck a different tone. >> love vegas. enjoying myself every time i've got an opportunity to visit. in fact, just last night i drew a flush on the river and cut the budget deficit in half. >> what do you think of that, john? funny guy. >> if they don't feel love, poppy. i was out there a couple months ago. have you met the mayor of las vegas? oscar goodman? >> i haven't. i've seen him on a lot. >> very colorful, interesting guy. has a great bar in his office. lots of vegas paraphernalia. great martini glasses out on the bar. it's a great place to visit if you're thirsty. he was furious when i was out there because the president had

said something about you can't spend your bailout money, don't go to vegas and gamble. he was trying to get the president on the telephone. this guy matters in vegas politics, especially harry reid, the senate majority leader up for a tough re-election battle. the mayor was mad. he's happier tonight. >> he got the apology. >> i am going to guess he wants more than that. time for tonight's "shot." likely a circus employee apologizing for letting a zebra, yes, a zebra loose in downtown atlanta yesterday. 12-year-old lima, passed a dramatic animal video. escaped from an exercise area outside the phillip's arena right next to cnn headquarters. he was spotted all over town. became a hot topic on twitter. ended up in rush hour traffic on the highway before finally, as you can see there, lima was caught. hoovs were bloody from running on the pavement. that's tough. a circus spokeswoman says lima is resting at the university of georgia vet school. maybe he was trying to get into the cnn center to be a guest.

>> he wanted to be on your new show, john. >> work in progress. >> work in progress. i will up you on that. i will take your zebra and up you an angry gator. take a look at this video. pretty unbelievable. there he is, a gator in alabama on the highway. got the cops to come. tried poking and prodding him with the shovel. that didn't work. had to call in alabama fish and game. watch out for that gator. angry gator. eventually they got him off the road. pretty scary video there. i don't think i'd go within 100 meters of that gator. >> we're still working on a name for the new show. maybe we'll call it animal traffic tips or tricks or something like that. >> keep working on that one. >> i think i better work on that one over the weekend. more news at the top of the hour including a closer look at tiger woods' apology. boss:hey, glad i caught you. i was on my way to present ideas about all the discounts we're offering. i've got some catchphrases that'll

everyone's talking tonight about tiger and his apology. tonight we're going to take a step beyond, tackling it from a number of fresh angles, including this. tom foreman looking beyond tiger's performance in front of the cameras to what those cameras really captured. things you and i might have missed. >> this highly staged and scripted apology was intended to

calm the storm around tiger woods, but it has unleashed debates. three things you may not have noticed but are ripping through discussions tonight. tiger wore no wedding ring. photos suggest he rarely did before the scandal. you can bet the absence was noted today. so was the absence of his wife, who was nowhere to be seen. so were the reactions of his mother who rarely even looked up at him during that statement. and the reactions of others, who were looking very hard. you know who was in his hand-picked audience, top officials from the pga, from tiger woods enterprises and nike, among others. it was all enough, no kidding, to slow down the stock market. more on all of that later. john? >> thanks, tom. back to you shortly. we'll hear as well from the author "men are from mars, women are from venus." about how and women perhaps view this story differently. it's a crucial distinction, because as you see women make

most buying decisions in the household. one of tiger's jobs is selling things. also ahead tonight, 360 is back in haiti following story of kids from the bresma orphanage. you might have thought it ended when that plane load of kids left haiti. it turns out some of them were left behind. and their situation is raising concerns. gary tuchman goes back to check things out. first up tonight, the missionaries who were jailed in haiti. two are still behind bars, eight have been released. anderson interviewed one of them today. setting the stage first, here's joe johns. >> reporter: saturday january 30th haitian police report they've arrested ten americans at the key border crossing into the dominican republic. five men and five women, trying to take a bus load of 33 children out of earthquake-stricken haiti. the americans say they're baptist missionaries plan to house the children in a converted hotel in the dominican republic and later move them to an orphanage. the focus of the case quickly becomes the leader of the group, laura silsby. on january 31st silsby tells cnn

she was wrongly arrested. >> we believe that we've been charged very falsely with trafficking, which, of course, that is the furthest possible extreme because, i mean, our heart's here. we literally gave up everything we had -- income and used of our own funds to come here to help these children. >> reporter: silsby originally claimed the children were orphaned or abandoned. cnn determined early on some of the children had at least one parent living. on february 3rd haitians say the missionaries had no so-called paperwork. their so-called mercy mission was illegal. february 4th the americans are charged with child trafficking. there are reports some parents admitted giving their children away in hopes they would have a better life. february 5th it becomes clear neither the u.s. nor the united nations will intervene on behalf of the americans, after secretary of state hillary clinton and her husband, u.n. special envoy to haiti and former u.s. president bill clinton say they're subject to haitian law.

after that, days of waiting and legal maneuvering. reports of power problems in the jail and concerns that one of the detained americans, a diabetic, was becoming ill. but it isn't until three weeks later, february 17th, that a haitian judge rules eight of the ten americans can be freed. they leave that night after being granted bail without bond. released on their own recognizance. how are you coping with that? tonight silsby and her 24-year-old nanny, charisa coulter, remain in custody, leaving it up to the haitian court to determine whether this was some type of misguided rescue mission or a sorted plot. joe johns, cnn, washington. now, one of the missionaries on how he got caught up in all this. that and what he did and didn't know about the odyssey he was on. his name is jim allen. anderson has got the big 360 interview. >> jim, congratulations on being home. how are you doing? >> i'm doing very well.

got a good night's rest last night, and i feel good. >> i think it's important for people to realize, and i learned this from talking to your wife last week. you didn't know laura silsby before heading down to haiti, correct? >> correct. i actually didn't know -- there was only two people in the group that i did know, and that was my cousin, paul thompson, and his son. paul is the one who had contacted me and said they were going, and i was really interested in an opportunity to help the people, so, with one or two days' notice i was in miami and on my way. so -- >> so what was your understanding of what the mission was going to be that laura silsby had put together? >> in the very beginning the only thing i knew is that we were going to go over there and she had an orphanage and that we were going to work on that and prepare that for children to be able to live there. >> at this point when you first

went, did you think that -- were you under the impression that laura had all the permissions she needed to take kids from haiti into the dominican republic? >> yes. we were told that all the documents required to get kids into the dominican republic she had, and on the haitian side there was some documents that we needed to acquire and that was part of our goal also. >> did you ever see the documents that laura said she had that she was going to show authorities? >> yes, i did. as they entered the bus each individual child that entered the bus, they was written right then at that time. i seen that happening. i didn't look at the document and read the document. i watched them write down their names and write down their birth dates and then i watched the pastor sign it. >> in terms of -- but just so i'm correct, there was never any written document from a haitian

authority saying these adoptions were approved or this could go through? this was simply something from this person from the orphanage? >> exactly. yes. uh-huh. >> why was laura looking for kids only under 10? >> my understanding was, is that's what the dominican government had told her that she has authorization to bring back. that it was required, you know, 10 and under and no mother and no father. >> and were you aware that of the 33 kids that as many as 2/3 of them actually did have a parent? >> not at all. as they got on the bus, as the pastor -- we thought they were relatives like aunts or uncles or grandparents, brought the kids to us. they specifically told us that this child has no one to take care of them. both their mother and their father are no longer living, and

as they entered the bus we wrote down their name and their birth date and that they were alone and had nobody to help them. >> is there anything now, looking back on this, that, i mean, besides getting arrested, that you regret? >> what i wish is that, you know, i went -- i felt like god actually called me to go help these people. what i regret the most is that i wasn't able to do anything. you know, i don't blame anybody or hold any grudges against that. because i think that the haitian government did what they needed to do by detaining us and getting to the facts, but -- >> you're not angry at the haitian government? >> oh, not at all. no. >> and jim, i do think as you said, one of the saddest things about this is, you know, besides obviously the disruption to these kids is just that you wanted to do good and you had good intentions in your heart. would you ever consider going down again in another capacity?

>> i wouldn't mind going. >> a lot to ask. >> i would probably have to do it without lisa knowing about it. you know -- >> or your attorney i would think. >> probably. probably so. >> again, jim and lisa and hyrem, thank you very much. welcome home. >> thank you. >> thank you, anderson. thank you very much. just a reminder the live chat is up and running at ac360.com. plenty to chat about tonight including tiger woods' apology. >> it's hard to admit that i need help, but i do. >> coming up, the male/female divide on what he said. the money angle. tom foreman on the telling details and more.

the day after thanksgiving '09 will be remembered as the moment the country awoke from a turkey coma to a tiger frenzy. the news tiger woods wrecked his suv. then came the parades of girlfriends. the text messages. and animated recreations of key moments in the sorted saga. then when that jumped a shark, tiger vanished. also vanishing, many of his sponsors. then rehab and today this. >> i want to say to each of you, simply and directly, i am deeply sorry for my irresponsible and selfish behavior i engaged in. i have let you down. i have let down my fans.

for many of you, especially my friends, my behavior has been a personal disappointment. some people have speculated that elin somehow hurt or attacked me on thanksgiving night. it angers me that people would fabricate a story like that. elin never hit me that night or any other night. there has never been an episode of domestic violence in our marriage. ever. the issue involved here was my repeated irresponsible behavior. i was unfaithful. i had affairs. i cheated. what i did is not acceptable. i am the only person to blame. i felt that i had worked hard my entire life and deserved to enjoy all the temptations around me. i felt i was entitled. thanks to money and fame i

didn't have far -- i didn't have to go far to find them. i was wrong. i was foolish. i don't get to play by different rules. it's now up to me to make amends. and that starts by never repeating the mistakes i've made. it's up to me to start living a life of integrity. it's hard to admit that i need help, but i do. for 45 days from the end of december to early february i was in in-patient therapy receiving guidance for the issues i'm facing. when my children were born we only released photographs so that the paparazzi could not chase them. however, my behavior doesn't make it right for the media to follow my 2 1/2-year-old daughter to school and report

the school's location. i was raised a buddhist and i actively practiced my faith from childhood until i drifted away from it in recent years. buddhism teaches that a craving for things outside ourselves causes an unhappy and pointless search for security. it teaches me to stop following every impulse and to learn restraint. obviously i lost track of what i was taught. i do plan to return to golf one day. i just don't know when that day will be. i don't rule out that it will be this year. when i do return i need to make my behavior more respectful of the game. >> so that's the apology and as you're well aware a lot of people have been talking about it. tom foreman has been analyzing the body language, who was

there, who wasn't, including wife, elin. we'll take a closer look at that shortly. before we do, let's dig deeper into how tiger's apology and adultery are being seen across gender lines. joined by john gray, "men are from mars women are from venus." with us cnn legal analyst lisa bloom. john, what is the mars/venus breakdown of tiger's big statement? >> well, he did a great job apologizing. he's really dug a hole for himself and it's going to be a while for him to rebuild his image and so forth. it will happen a lot faster with men than with women. men sort of are more sympathetic toward this because on our planet if we say men are from mars, men are attracted by the physical first and he was clearly not necessarily emotionally involved with these women. when women hear it it's a huge betrayal of trust because women usually feel the emotional bond first. how could he betray his wife telling her he loves her while he would go off and love all

these other women in a special way? there's a huge betrayal trust. whoever's guiding him and helping him in the apology and understanding the healing is right on, because it's not words that will do it. it's actions. and for his whole image to come back it will be in a future where there will be scenes of him happy with his wife because she's the one who needs to rebuild the trust with him. i think that will help other women see men in a different light as well. he has a big role here to play and i see one big obstacle, which women don't understand the way men recover from traumatic events is often by doing things they're good at. he'll be out there playing golf, having a great time and people will think that he doesn't really care about the tragedy he created when the opposite is strew. >> lisa, as a woman and a person who helps people through crises, how do you do? >> i'm glad to be here tonight representing the planet, venus, john. i think there was one small step forward for women today. that is this. we did not see elin, thank

goodness, standing next to him the way we've seen so many wives of famous men in the past. with the wife adoring gaze as their husband publicly humiliates them. for example, silda spitzer, wife of former governor eliot spitzer. dina mcgreevey, wife of jim mcgreevey. they stood there. we just didn't like to see that. we're not seeing it, i think, anymore. we didn't see it with elizabeth edwards. we didn't see it with the governor's wife in south carolina. we're just not seeing that as much anymore. good for elin for staying home and telling women and girls we're not doormats. her private decisions are up to her. if she stays, if she goes, that's up to her. her public actions are something people look to. that girls and women look up to public figures like elin. i say good for her for not being a doormat today. >> let me ask you both. john, to you first then to lisa. if you agree he said the right things, did he say them right, if you will? was there enough emotion? was the delivery credible? >> i thought it was fantastic. i just want to reenforce what lisa said. that was my first reaction.

i was so glad there wasn't her having to stand there humiliating herself in front of her husband as if she's feeling good about this. her heart is broken, and it's magnified many thousandfold that few people could imagine because of all the publicity on this and privacy is something she's taking and something he's acknowledged. he doesn't want to share his feelings, what he's told to her, and that his actions will demonstrate that. he's going to prove that. i have faith in tiger. he's achieved his goals. he's an icon. he's really a focused man. he can achieve his goal. part of golf is learning how to correct yourself from making mistakes. you're constantly gauging yourself. he made a big mistake. a lot of famous people made that same mistake when faced with those temptations. i'm confident he'll be able to correct that and realize what he's done and he will adjust it and solve the problem. >> there was one area for women i thought was disappointing. that is that tiger apologized to all the world, his wife, appropriately, his family, his friends, his fans, his business associates. the only mention he made of all the other women he was involved

with was to refer to them as temptations. you know, certainly he didn't refer to them even as human beings. he didn't apologize to them. my understanding is part of the 12-step program is you're supposed to apologize to all the human beings you wronged. some of these women alleged they had year-long relationships with him, text messages from him where he lied to them. i think he should have apologized too them, too. they are human beings, after all. >> let's talk about the future of tiger, the salesman. we assume he'll return to golf and assume he'll have his skills in tact. this morning abc news released a poll that shows 37% of women have an unfavorable view of tiger woods compared to only 29% of men. as a marketer, salesman, beginning with you, john, can he recover from numbers like that in terms of getting back his marketability? >> it will clearly start to happen as he starts winning the games. it will happen first with men. if i was helping them in terms of just raising his image, after three to four months there would

be the acknowledgement he finished his therapy or a major part of it and some sort of publicity campaign showing he's happy with his wife. if that happens that would definitely greatly improve his image. that he was able to go the nine yards to rebuild the relationship. as a counselor these things can take several years to really rebuild, for her to rebuild her trust. if she gets involved in the process of healing and counseling as well it will happen a lot faster. not to say she's responsible for what he's done in any way but she's a part of the healing. >> if you see him in an ad on the screen do you view him the same as you would have year ago? >> the women i've been talking to today on twitter and facebook and on the air and everywhere i've gone have not looked at tiger favorably. i don't know the extent to which he can fully recuperate his image with women. let's face it. he was selfish. that's his own word. he had a sense of entitlement he could do anything and publicly humiliated his wife. he wronged a lot of women that are out there hurting.

i think americans love a comeback story. women and men. i think eventually everybody will forget about tiger's wrongs if he goes forward and leads a good life. he's going to have a hard time repairing his image with women i think in the short term. >> john gray, lisa bloom. thank you, both. we played a portion of tiger's statement tonight. go to ac360.com, we posted the entire thing in case you missed it earl your or in case you want to take a closer or second look. we'll be taking a closer look ourselves. right after the break. at the people in the room with tiger. who was there, who wasn't? their reactions and more. later, gary tuchman returns to haiti and the orphanage that got so many of its kids out but not all of them. how are they doing now? find out when 360 continues. we love your weight watchers endorsed soups but my husband looks the way he did 20 years ago. well that's great. you haven't seen him... my other can is ringing. progresso. hey can you tell my wife to relax and enjoy the view?

after months of silence tiger woods riveted the world today. he apologized for his serial adultery. he said he realizes the rules apply to him, just like everyone else. he hugged his mom, but he didn't hug his wife, elin. she wasn't there. that isn't the only telling detail if you look close enough which is exactly what tom foreman did. >> reporter: from the moment he walked in, tiger woods looked starkly different than many of us remember him from just before

the scandal broke at thanksgiving last year. take a look. gone, of course, was that famous smile. you could see dark circles under his eyes. his clothing not nearly as polished. his demeanor not as confident as we used to expect. all that despite the fact he was facing a hand-picked crowd stacked with friends and business associates. for example, in the front row, that's a pro golfer. tim finchem, pga tour commissioner. rob mcnamara from the sports agency that represents tiger. farther down, that's kathy bataglia from tiger woods enterprises. tiger's mother, kultida woods. and amy reynolds of nike. notably absent, tiger's wife. many appeared uneasy as they listened. >> i want to say to each of you, simply and directly, i am deeply

sorry for my irresponsible and selfish behavior i engaged in. >> reporter: media came from all over the world, but reporters were kept a mile away in a viewing area and told there would be no questions. but part way through tiger's head-on camera failed. so the rest of the statement was taken from this side shot which revealed interesting details. he wore no wedding ring. although past pictures suggest he rarely did. and look at the reactions from tiger's mother. >> i hurt my wife, my kids, my mother. >> reporter: even when he spoke about her or his late father she mostly looked down or away. so did many others. although the woman from nike dabbed at her eyes as tiger wrapped up his statement and came over to hug his mother and shake a few hands. how many people stopped to watch this? not sure. stock market trading dipped noticeably during the announcement and rose sharply afterward. perhaps one measure of how three months after his fall many

people remain terribly interested in tiger, the man, and tiger the megasports star. tom foreman, cnn, washington. digging deeper now let's bring in someone who knows and has written extensively about the life, challenges and temptations of pro-athletes. sportswriter and nationally syndicated radio host steven a. smith. steven, good to see you. let's start with a simple question. did tiger's statement today, his delivery today, help or hurt his efforts to rehabilitate? his public image? >> his delivery hurt his attempt to resurrect himself in the eyes of the public. it was an awful delivery. the words were definitely apropos. there was contrition in the words. he apologized to all the right people. the people who really mattered. in terms of his delivery it came across as too scripted, too choreographed, lacking sincerity severely and that's the kind of thing that's going to hurt him because he's never made an

effort to necessarily ingratiate himself with the public at large. he marketed himself and his image to get paid but never ingratiated himself with the public at large. now that he had an opportunity to do so after this incident he didn't do a good job of it at my estimation. >> you're around professional sports all the time. take us inside that world. you heard tiger today say he felt entitled, felt he could get away with anything he wanted because of the money, because of his fame. what is life like for wealthy, famous athletes always on the road and always surrounded by fans and groupies? >> it's temptation island. that's really what this comes down to. a lot of people don't want to hear that. particularly the women out there. the reality is that's exactly what it is. you're a man, you're a physical creature. you cover what you see as the first order of business. men are from mars, women are from venus just like he said. you cover what they see. they make sure you see a lot. there's a whole bunch of flesh pointing in these guys' faces every single day, everywhere they go, every hour of every day. i know of situations where women have snuck into guys' hotels. literally guys have come home to

the hotel from games and somehow, someway the women had managed to get themselves into a hotel room. i'm not talking about what you would call hoochies or anything like that. girls on a roll looking to get in bed with a guy. i'm talking about doctors, lawyers, nurses, accountants, women who have their own money, have achieved their own level of success. it does not stop them. the younger you are the more of a target you are. the more naive you're perceived as being which makes you an easier target and easier prey for a lot of these women. i'm talking about every city, every state, every small town. i don't care if they go to the bus stop for crying out loud. there is a woman somewhere there who wants to get ahold of them because they're very reputable figures and women know this. >> that's quite the picture you paint there. let me ask you this. is golf different than if tiger were a professional basketball player, professional baseball player, professional football player? >> it's golf. golf is very different for one reason and one reason only. unlike baseball, football,

basketball, golf is an international sport. you're not traveling from cleveland to chicago or chicago to detroit or detroit to new york city. you're in new york -- i'm sorry, you're in the united states one day. you're in dubai the next. you're in asia the next. you're in london, england. you're in france. the list could be on and on. you're international. you're traveling all across the world and lots of times you are not with your significant other and you're spending chunks and chunks of time without your significant other while those temptations are being thrown in your face. that's one of the biggest reasons why you feel you can get away with anything because the person you're accountable to is usually not around to hold you accountable. >> he was the best in the world, without dispute. what happens now? when you're the best, some of your colleagues, fellow players, competitors resent you anyway. what happens to tiger woods now? do they forget about this? do they think, i don't want people looking at my private life either, so welcome back, tiger? or is he more resented now? >> they're going to welcome him back, but in the same breath

some of them are going to resent him more because he's made life at home very, very difficult for them. we all know as men, we know how women can be. that's not misogynistic or disrespectful in any way. if somebody like tiger woods is cheating some of those other golfers go home, look at their woman, look at their wives and their eyebrows are raised, looking at them thinking, what are you doing? they're not going to say it to him literally. make no mistake about it that's going to be the kind of attitude that comes across. you know what? women don't forget and men don't do a great job of giving them reasons to forget. and ultimately you're going to end up paying the price. the actions of one taint the many and that's exactly what the situation is going to be the tiger woods especially since it's the sport of golf we're talking about here. >> the never shy steven a. smith. we appreciate your perspective tonight. you take care. >> always. >> take care. coming up, new information about the plane crash into an irs building in texas. the bodies of two victims

tonight we're checking in on a group of orphans in haiti. we told their story in the first frightening days after the quake.

jamie and alec were living outside at their bresma orphanage with a group of children they feared would not survive. since then some of those kids have been airlifted to the united states. others were left behind. our gary tuchman went back to bresma to find out what happened to them. >> reporter: an orphanage in haiti. where the children chant in creole "he's our mother margaret." margaret may love these children like a mother but she's the owner of the orphanage hoping these children soon get approval to live with their new mothers and fathers in france and the united states. do these children here have permission to leave haiti yet? >> not yet. not yet. >> reporter: how come? >> because their paperwork is not finished yet. only six of them for france have permission to leave. >> reporter: the rest, which is another 30, don't have permission to leave? >> not yet. >> reporter: this is our second visit to the bresma orphanage. three days after the earthquake we met two pittsburgh sisters who for years have helped

margaret run the orphanage. they said back then many of the children had already been matched with parents in the united states, but -- >> their paperwork was in government offices downtown and all the offices are crumbled. so that's what they need. all those papers are what they need to be able to get a passport and a visa. >> reporter: jamie and allie were tenacious. 54 children got approval in the next few days and flew out of port-au-prince airport to new lives in the united states. 36 other children stayed behind. we came back because we heard some were quite sick. how is the health of the children right now? >> not very, very good. but they are okay. except the four children that in not very in good shape. >> reporter: they're in the hospital right now? >> one of them is in the hospital. >> reporter: that child has pneumonia. this still photo shows one of the other three children who have digestive problems. the other children all appear

relatively healthy. while we were there they were bused to another haitian orphanage so their current building can be repaired from earthquake damage. they get a chance of extra medical care available at the other facility. the pittsburgh sisters who returned to the u.s. with their orphans are back in haiti trying to get 12 of the orphans to designated families in the u.s. the rest of the children are likely destined to france. how long the process will take is unknown. >> gary tuchman joins us now. gary, how long does it generally take for an adoption to get approved? >> reporter: before the earthquake, john, it took an average of about 1 1/2 years. after the earthquake, though, because of the nature of the catastrophe, governments quickened up the pace for many families. it was a policy of compassion. now many people who look out for these adopted children say the process has slowed down again and they are quick to put the blame on the ten missionaries who were arrested for allegedly trafficking children. what they tell us, these parents of perspective adoptive

children tell us, what they did was very selfish. their maneuvers, allegedly without legal permission, have slowed down the process for many parents who have legal permission to ultimately get their children. now it looks like for many of them it will take longer than it would have a few weeks ago. >> gary tuchman on the ground for us in port-au-prince. great reporting gary, thanks so much. up next, helping chicago's kids. trying to keep them away from the violence. giving them a hope, an education and a place to play. see how one woman is helping everyone from drug dealers and dropouts when 360 continues.

chicago where so many children died on the streets, so many, people are calling it an epidemic. our education contributor sat down with diane to find out what keeps her going. >> reporter: diane created a memorial across the street from her home. she adds a stone for each child who dies from violence here in chicago. she began three years ago, when a promising student, blair holt, was killed riding her bus. today, there are 200 stones. what goes through your head when you're here? >> if only we had what we needed to help. not these young people but the young people who did the act, you know? if only we would have knew. if only we would have been there. if only. >> reporter: you actually think the person who killed this child? >> yes. >> reporter: most folks don't think that. most folks think of these children here. they don't think of two lives lost. these represent two lives.

>> that's right. two families. >> reporter: that's how diane sees it. after all, she's devoted her life and given over her home to saving families before it ever gets to that point. >> it's become a safe haven for young people. it's become a place where they seek help and get help. our house has become this place on the block that is actually a place where the hopeless come so they can get back on track. >> reporter: she's had as many as 75 young people here at a time. what is it that makes you so -- i see the kids. i mean, they respond to you with the utmost respect. what's the reason the kids listen to you? >> because i listen to them. >> reporter: okay. >> i give respect. because that's what they want. they want -- they want respect. they want to give us respect. they want us to listen. they want to be listened to. >> reporter: you work with a lot of kids, but do you discriminate between which kids you work with?

>> no, and i never will. they get enough of that. the door's opened to all of them. the gang member, the drug dealer, the dropout. >> she calls the program kids off the block. kob. she's available 24/7, not unusual for her phone to ring at 3:00 a.m. >> people all the time say to me, they say this all the time, well, i have kids. i got a job. >> uh-huh. >> reporter: i don't have time. i'm busy. >> uh-huh. >> what do you say to those people? >> join the club. i got a job. i got eight kids. at the time it was nine grandkids. and a husband. and i was busy. but when i saw the need, i quit my job. you know people say we were crazy. you know, diane, you're crazy. you don't even know these kids. well i do now know them. >> so you trust kids who you've never met to just come to your

would be never having to add another stone to the memorial. >> if you can look at this and it does not affect you, what will affect you? >> reporter: it's fair to say diane latiker is about changing history, one child, one family at a time. steve perry, cnn, chicago. >> a courageous woman there. up next the university professor accused of gunning down colleagues is on suicide watch in an alabama jail. and there's more. her lawyer is calling her a whacko but is he laying groundwork for an insanity defense? also ahead, president obama makes amends to las vegas. will the mayor accept his apology? and what are their goals. and then we plan. it's a very good feeling as an advisor to work with people and help get them to their goals. once people perceive that they can control their destiny then they accomplish unbelievable things.

in fact, just last night, i drew a flush on the river and cut the budget deficit in half. >> what do you think of that, john? >> he loves -- they don't feel loved, poppy. i was out there a couple months ago. have you ever met the mayor of las vegas, oscar good pan. >> i haven't but seen him on a lot. >> it's a very colorful interesting guy. has a great bar in his office. >> like yours? >> martini glasses on the bar. it's a great place to visit if you're thirsty. he was furious when i was out there because the president said you can't spend your bailout money, don't go to vegas and gamble. he was trying to get the president on the telephone and this guy matters in vegas politics, especially harry reid is up for a tough re-election battle. the mayor was mad. he's a little more happy tonight. >> he did get the apology. >> i'm going to guess he wants a little more than that. time for tonight's shot. there's likely a circus employee apologizing for letting a zebra
